The house Wes Anderson built: A look at the director's singular troupe

Anjelica Huston

Appeared in: "The Royal Tenenbaums," "The Life Aquatic with Steve Zissou," "The Darjeeling Limited" (pictured)

What she brings: Anjelica Huston first collaborated with Anderson on "The Royal Tenenbaums," tackling the role of a head-strong matriarch suffering the shenanigans of her ex-husband. She's been used for similarly strong mother figures in the director's work since and seems to feel at home with his sensibilities.
